bets on his real height and weight?

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 52 points 10 months ago

I, for one, am offended that you are implying White House doc and totally non-partisan dude Ronny Jackson would have been embellishing things when he said Trump was a paragon of mental and physical health.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 39 points 10 months ago

Don't give a shit. I want a mug shot of this POS.

[-] Art3sian@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I’m 6’1” (186cm) barefoot and measured. Trump claims to be 6’3” (190cm).

I stood next to a wax statue of him at Madame Tussaud’s, which is famous for its exact replicas, and I was comfortably an inch taller than that statue and it was in heeled shoes (I was wearing flat-soled Connie’s), so Trump is 6’0” max, but my guess is he’s just under - maybe 5’11” (183cm).

Interesting. But to accept this would mean also accepting that he doesn't have baby hands and I just won't do it. No sir.

[-] Art3sian@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Nah, he’s taller than 5’9”, but he’s definitely not the 6’3” he claims to be. Not even close. I’d bet my last dollar that barefooted he’s pretty close to 5’11”.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I'm marginally taller than Donald Trump. I win!

[-] mr_sifl@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I am 5'9" and just measured my hand, 7.25". Confirmed. Also what idiot would be ashamed of being 69" tall? Amazing height.

[-] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

and here I am at 5'8", so close to greatness...

[-] Synthuir@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Well guess what? You’re 4’20”! Congrats, now go get high, you stoner, you!

[-] Elderos@lemmings.world 21 points 10 months ago

$10 he personally call them out for inflating his weight, bad lighting, and etc.

[-] UnlimitedRumination@sh.itjust.works 52 points 10 months ago

You can agree to a bail amount before being arrested? What the fuck? I don't know why but this makes me really angry.

[-] droans@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

He's just a poor little baby who committed some light treason, give him a break 🥺

[-] Chozo@kbin.social 14 points 10 months ago

I don’t know why but this makes me really angry.

Oh, I can think of a few reasons why.

[-] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 4 points 10 months ago

About 200,000 reasons...

[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Also his bond is lower than what it is for petty criminals

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

This is why they tell you to lawyer up.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 35 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

"Sex offender outraged at being arrested."

[-] iHUNTcriminals@lemm.ee 25 points 10 months ago

Damn sorry to the cop that checks him in...

[-] Narrrz@kbin.social 47 points 10 months ago

ACAB includes the guy on desk duty who has to process the first former president of the USA to ever be held accountable for his crimes.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 11 points 10 months ago

Just pretend you don't know who he is. It's a very basic mind game but it'll work on him.

And what's your name then?

[-] iHUNTcriminals@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I meant the guy that has to watch him spread his asshole during check in.

[-] badbrainstorm@lemmy.world 38 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Why? They bought him

In 2016, there were about 7,000 contributions from police. In 2020, there were more than 46,000, totaling more than $2.75 million.

huge uptick in that kind of sentiment for sure, and they just wanted clout.. cowardice was on the rise in all its most popular forms while dipshit was important.. it's waning fast and gonna flame out real soon.. that mugshot will bring some tears..

[-] Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Put down the hopium pipe, son.

[-] Artisian@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

Eh - surely this is because one party (rightly) had a platform of cutting police funding. Selfish explains most of this, surely?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

To be fair, that's from Breitbart, so it could be a lie.

[-] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

This means he not longer can run for president, right?.... RIGHT!?

[-] dx1@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

There is the Disqualification Clause of the 14th amendment:

"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

So, let's see how indictment number, uh, whatever the insurrection one was, goes.

[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

In the u.s if you're a criminal you can't work at McDonald's, but you can be president

[-] ComfortablyGlum@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

Mug shot, or it didn't happen!
